Review- Catch.er (2017)

Image via filmhouseng.com
Abby Bello is a working class lady and the Vice President of a corporate company and during her anniversary celebration, she gets called into the office by her boss to go through a few errors found in the company's yearly report. When she gets back home, she encounters her colleague, Brume (Blossom Chukwujekwu), her brother Segun (Gbenro Ajibade) and her husband Tony (Alex Ekubo) and before the day ends, Abby is found dead in her home. The police launch an investigation into her death by arresting suspects that had motives for wanting her dead and it becomes a case of "whodunnit". Catch.er boasts of an ensemble cast and they all delivered in their respective roles especially O. C. Ukeje. He has come such a long way after winning the Amstel Malta Box Office in 2006 and I always look forward to seeing any movie he stars in. Alex Ekubo has also improved so much in his acting and I really have to commend him on that. Beverly Naya and and Blossom Chukwujekwu never disappoint so it's no surprise how fantastic they were in Catch.er.  Wofai Fada was a great comic relief and I'm really glad she's getting movie roles. Omowunmi Dada also plays her role as Ese so well, I wish we got more of her.

One thing I really loved about this film was the way it was filmed and how they captured so many angles. There were a lot of flashbacks but it flowed really well with the story, although I didn't really like the song that went the murder scene. I wish they picked something that sounded intense. It had a satisfying ending but I wish we got more of the killer to better understand why he committed the crime. It's not a perfect film but the little errors don't change the fact that it was good film that was worth every penny. I'm really glad, that Nollywood filmmakers are breaking the norm and exploring other genres. We need more movies like this in our Cinemas.

"Who Killed Julia Montague?"- Bodyguard Finale

BBC's Bodyguard has been one of the most satisfying series I've seen so far, this year. Over six episodes, they delivered a Limited Series that kept you on the edge of your seat and wondering what was next for Richard Madden's David Budd. David meets up with Julia's PA, Chanel, who was fired in the first episode because he was suspicious of her involvement in the bombings and he was right. She had a hand in it. Chanel set David up and he ended up getting ambushed and kidnapped by the leader of the criminal group, Luke Aitkens. The police are finally  able to piece the puzzle and they findd out that the ex-soldier who tried to shoot Julia was David's friend and this raises an alarm. They're convinced that Budd was indeed behind the bombing. Budd wakes up alone and realizes that he is strapped to a bomb vest with his thumb taped to the activating button. He is unaware that he is currently being investigated by the police and uses someone's phone to call for...

Goodbye Mike & Rachel- Suits' Seventh Season Finale Review

  Suits is one of my favorite Legal Drama's and for some reason, I'm still very invested in the show after 7 seasons. I don't think they've had any bad season and they've done such a great job with the growth and development of the major characters but the time to say goodbye to Mike and Rachel was finally here. Due to the fact that Meghan Markle would be getting married to Prince Harry, I guess it was a good time to wrap up her love story with Mike and they do this with the fairy tale wedding we've all been waiting for. Mike and Rachel have been an item since the first season and have been engaged since the fifth. They would have been married a season ago but were not able to because of Mike's time in prison. I always loved their chemistry and I was so sad to see them say goodbye and more than anything, I loved Mike and Harvey's relationship. It was so genuine and pure. The two final episodes of the final season of Suits aired back to back and...

SUITS: Season 6 finale

        The 6th season of suits has been quite an emotional one with Mike's would be wedding with Rachel, his going to Prison and Rachel's death row case. Death row cases can get really sad especially if the suspect is innocent which was the case of Leonard Bailey (Glenn Plummer) who was accused of murdering two people. After staying behind bars for 12 years, Leonard Bailey was finally exonerated with the help of Rachel and Jessica (Gina Torres). During this episode, a major character said goodbye to the show. Gina Torres decided to leave Suits to film another TV Show 'Catch' and it was quite emotional. This episode showed a different side of Jessica Pearson, she put her pro Bono case first before the firm and fought for the freedom of Leonard Bailey.          Gina Torres will no longer be a series regular and I was happy her character wasn't killed off like Will Gardner in the Good Wife, (I c...
